OU assistant coach headed to UH

Houston athletic director Dave Maggard told the Houston Chronicle he was prepared to hire Sumlin, who has spent the last five years on Bob Stoops' staff at Oklahoma, on Friday.

Maggard declined to comment on the newspaper report to The Associated Press. He said he would make an announcement about the head coach at a news conference Friday.

Chris Burkhalter, Houston's associate athletics director, confirmed to The Associated Press a news conference had been scheduled for noon Friday but didn't elaborate. A call to Maggard by the AP was not immediately returned to the AP.

Sumlin would replace Art Briles, who resigned Nov. 28 and took over at Baylor. Sumlin has worked at Washington State, Wyoming, Minnesota, Purdue, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. He has been co-offensive coordinator for the Sooners for the last two seasons.
